Tomas, Thank you for the insights. Primarily I'm working in RHEL AS4, and some in RHEL5. I'll look for that manpage in those OS's here pretty soon, and see what I can come up with.

See man system-auth-ac if you want to keep some adjustments to PAM configuration. Also the current authconfig in Fedora 9 doesn't overwrite all files every time.
